Order the xl. There is vary little padding so not much give. When I ordered mine a few months ago I got a large and XL. Figured if the Large was small the wife could use it and I would not have to wait for the XL. Well that is what happend. I do fit in the large but after a day ride in the Large and XL the XL fit better. I run with either a buzz cut or longer hair so that also played a part. But is comes to personnel choice. I like them tight but not to tight.

Yeah I would say break in is pretty minimal. There are earlier posts about how guys took a bat and "rounded" the inside. To me being in a state without helmet laws I now wear one because I want to protection. I know fullface would be best but hey after not wearing anything for 15 yrs this is better than nothing. I truely believe if you change the shape you are compromising the protection. Being a FF and dealing with rescue equipment I believe in it. If we drop (front a good height) some of our rescue stuff we get rid of it. So I dont see how taking a bat to a helmet to change the shape is any different. The thing that sucks about the outlaws is that you have a small window to get one. So not really a big window for trail and error. My head is 23.5 inches or 59.7 cm

I have a large Rockhard and ordered the large Outlaw also. Fits tighter than the Rockhard. I would say if your head fits past the mid point of their sizing chart, go to the next larger size. I was right in the middle of the large measurement, and it's snug. Any tighter and I would have to go to an extra large.

I ordered the L for the wife and XL for myself. She was on the upper end of the M and I was at the lower end of the XL. I have worn a couple XLs that were a little sloppier than I would have want. Hopefully they fit damn near perfect. The helmets are due for delivery Friday

My head worked well with the 'small' RockHard and Bell, it is usually Medium in other helmets
Here are a few 'action' shots with my RockHard (Red) and my Crazy Canadian low profile half DOT (Black) and you can see also the change in bar heights
